DM SAFETY
Our SERVICES
Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers are ideal for marine environments, providing versatile and efficient protection against fires on ships, yachts, offshore platforms, and boats. They operate by rapidly discharging a fine chemical powder that smothers flames, cuts off oxygen, and interrupts the fire’s chemical reaction. Highly effective against Class A (solids), Class B (flammable liquids), and Class C (flammable gases) fires, these extinguishers are also safe for use on electrical equipment commonly found on marine vessels. DM Safety Services LLC supplies only UAE Civil Defence-approved marine extinguishers, ensuring compliance, reliability, and maximum safety at sea.
